Bristol City are on the verge of signing former West Ham midfielder Gary O’Neil on a free transfer.

The 33-year-old made 31 appearances for Norwich last term before the expiry of his contract. It appeared that the Canaries wanted to retain him as they bid to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

However Robins coach Lee Johnson is keen on a deal to sign O’Neil and it seems a move to Ashton Gate is now on the cards.

Some reports have even suggested that the ex-QPR and Cardiff man has already completed a medical ahead of his proposed switch to the west country.
